DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of Submission Deadline for 

Schedule Information for O’Hare 

International Airport, San Francisco 

International Airport, John F. Kennedy 

International Airport, and Newark 

Liberty International Airport for the 

Summer 2014 Scheduling Season 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation. 

ACTION: Notice of submission deadline. 

SUMMARY: Under this notice, the FAA 

announces the submission deadline of 

October 10, 2013, for summer 2014 

flight schedules at Chicago’s O’Hare 

International Airport (ORD), San 

Francisco International Airport (SFO), 

New York’s John F. Kennedy 

International Airport (JFK), and Newark 

Liberty International Airport (EWR) in 

accordance with the International Air 

Transport Association (IATA) 

Worldwide Slot Guidelines. The 

deadline coincides with the schedule 

submission deadline for the IATA Slots 

Conference for the summer 2014 

scheduling season. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

has designated ORD as an IATA Level 

2 airport, SFO as a Level 2 airport, JFK 

as a Level 3 airport, and EWR as a Level 

3 airport. Scheduled operations at JFK 

and EWR are currently limited by FAA 

Orders until a final Slot Management 

and Transparency Rule for LaGuardia 

Airport, John F. Kennedy International 

Airport, and Newark Liberty 

International Airport (RIN 2120–AJ89) 

becomes effective but not later than 

October 24, 2014.1

The FAA is primarily concerned 

about planned passenger and cargo 

operations during peak hours, but 

carriers may submit schedule plans for 

the entire day. At ORD, the peak hours 

are 0700 to 2100 Central Time (1200 to 

0200 UTC), at SFO from 0600 to 2300 

Pacific Time (1300 to 0600 UTC), and at 

EWR and JFK from 0600 to 2300 Eastern 

Time (1000 to 0300 UTC). Carriers 

should submit schedule information in 

sufficient detail including, at minimum, 

the operating carrier, flight number, 

scheduled time of operation, frequency, 

and effective dates. IATA standard 

schedule information format and data 

elements (Standard Schedules 

Information Manual or SSIM) may be 

used. 

The U.S. summer scheduling season 

for these airports is from March 30, 

2014, through October 25, 2014, in 

recognition of the IATA northern 

summer period. The FAA understands 

there may be differences in slot times 

due to different U.S. daylight saving 

time dates and will accommodate these 

differences to the extent possible. 

At EWR, there will be runway 

construction in summer 2014 that will 

impact airport operations and runway 

capacity. Runway 4L/22R will close 

from April 1 through June 1, 2014, and 

from September 20 through September 

30, 2014. Runway 11/29 will close June 

1 through 15, 2014, for construction at 

the intersection of runway 4L/22R. 

Runway 4L/22R will be open during 

that period with reduced length. 

Nighttime and weekend closures of 

Runway 4L/22R will occur until late 

2014. Modeling suggests that delay 

impacts may be significant at the typical 

demand levels, especially when 

available runways or adverse weather 

conditions limit capacity. The Port 

Authority of New York and New Jersey, 

the FAA, and stakeholders have been 

meeting to determine ways to improve 

operations and mitigate delays to the 

extent possible. The FAA has issued a 

limited waiver of the minimum slot 

usage requirement to encourage carriers 

to temporarily reduce operations 

without losing historical precedence for 

slots. The FAA will work with carriers 

to potentially retime flights to less 

congested periods. Slots for new flights 

will be limited to off-peak times to 

avoid adding to congestion during the 

construction. 

At SFO, there will be runway 

construction in summer 2014. Runways 

1R/19L and 1L/19R will close from May 

17 through September 28, 2014. FAA 

modeling suggests modest delay 

increases and operational impacts based 

on existing schedules and projected 

airport runway capacity during the 

construction. The airport operator, FAA, 

and stakeholders have been meeting 

regularly to identify ways to improve 

efficiency, develop operational plans, 

and mitigate delays to the extent 

possible. Currently, the peak demand 

period at SFO is approximately 0900 to 

1400 Pacific Time. In order to reduce 

potential congestion and delays, carriers 

are encouraged to consider other hours 

for new summer 2014 flights and limit 

plans for new flights. Carriers may also 

consider whether it is possible to 

reschedule some flights to less 

congested hours, use larger aircraft or 

frequency adjustments in some markets, 

and temporarily reduce schedules. The 

FAA will work with carriers through the 

Level 2 schedule facilitation process to 

identify ways to reduce congestion. 

DATES: Schedules must be submitted no 

later than October 10, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: Schedules may be 

submitted by mail to the Slot
